Baby girl has arrived!

I just want to open by thanking everyone in this community and in the r/ttc30 community - being able to post the good, the anxious, and the terrified and have your support was invaluable during this process.

After three early losses, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, and a diagnostic HSC that I think cleared out whatever issue that was preventing me from conceiving a fourth time - I fell pregnant. First trimester was terrifying and then a potential heart issue was found with her 20w anatomy scan (was misread due to the equipment), finally culminated this week with 34 hours of spontaneous labor (where she got stuck due to her position) after my water broke, and ended with an elective c-section: Baby girl E was born on Wednesday very early.

Birth was a bit of a fever dream but hearing our anesthesiologist say, “she’s out and she’s got a lot of hair!” followed by my husband announcing that he could see her little feet and hear her cries while in the OR made everything worth it.

My husband and I can’t believe we are so lucky.

Sending each and every one of you so much love and light. 💕
